  14. Coralie,
    What a BEAUTIFUL BLOG! I'm with you all the way on the adorable graphics they used on the old greeting card boxes. I have a few myself and always keep my eyes peeled for them. But they are not that easy to find.

    I'm off to visit your recipe blog!
    Great post!

  15. I too love to see old cards. My mother just last year asked me if I wanted her card collection. I said no, not really thinking about it at all. It got trashed, thrown away, gone forever. I will never forget that, sadly. Happy Pink Saturday to you, Char

  29. Lovely Pink Saturday post and sweet blog, too. Woke up to a dusting of snow on the ground so even thought this isn't Saturday I really needed a boost!

    Sorry, I didn't get to see everyone yesterday. I had important business. My 11 year-old grandson was playing football and he wanted Mimi to go to the out-of-town-last-of-the-season-game. THEY WON AGAINST AN UNDEFEATED TEAM! WOO-HOO! 35 - 17☺

    Hope the coming week blesses you with sunshine, happiness and good friends.

  31. Coralie, your vintage box tops are gorgeous! I'd be tempted to put them into frames and hang them on the wall!

  33. Hello Coralie, I am late visiting as I just ran out of time yesterday. Thank you for visiting me. I have to tell you my sister's name is Caralie. My mother made up that name. I love your name.

    I also enjoyed the rose photos. I was surprised when you told me they were box covers. A lovely pink post.

    I will check out your recipe blog.

    Hugs, Jeanne
